AFTCO Fishing Gear & Apparel

The Aftco Reaper 3-Layer Windproof Softshell Jacket constructed from a durable stretch soft shell rip-stop fabric with an ultra-warm Hexatron™ fleece lining and integrated micro-fleece face mask.

The AFTCO Reaper Hoodie swept the fishing world and quickly became the staple for cold weather fishing comfort, rendering traditional fishing sweatshirts obsolete. The Reaper Windproof Jacket is the next generation of technical cold weather gear in the Reaper family. This soft shell jacket still incorporates a built-in face mask and neck warmer but is now lined with AFTCO's very own Hexatron™ fleece material. A durable 94% polyester / 6% spandex rip-stop outer shell is fused to the Hexatron™ lining. This combination in a 3-layer fabric provides added comfort, warmth, and wind protection. Built with laser cut underarm ventilation and a zippered side vent.

For the angler looking for a soft shell jacket specifically for cold weather and Fall/Winter fishing, the Reaper Soft Shell Jacket is the versatile piece that checks all the boxes and more.

AFTCO Gold Series Bait Nets come with woven polyester netting - a commercial grade, knotless, bait-friendly mesh, designed to last for many seasons of heavy use - are the perfect live bait net choice for scooping delicate baits like anchovies, menhaden and sardines.  The hoop of the net is made of aluminum and are available in 8 and 10-inch widths that allow for easy capture of the liveliest baits because they'll reach into the corners of the live bait well.  AFTCO Bait Nets feature Gold anodized aluminum handles with black foam grips, and are available in lengths of 12, 18, and 24 inches.

These bait nets are our favorite design and last for many years.  The flat bottom and sides make it easy to grab bait when it's trying to get away.  The rounded sides make it easy to slide into the corners of your live well. 

The net is recessed into a slot so the net itself won't rub on the sides of the tank.  This makes the net last much longer since it won't get damaged when trying to get that lively bait.  

It's light weight and easy to use if you have small bait like anchovies or larger mackerel.  The foam grip is durable and allows for easy use even while your hands are wet or slimy.  We like to have the handle longer than the deepest part of the tank so it doesn't sink to the bottom making it hard to retrieve.  

If you need a nice and affordable bait net, you can't go wrong with the AFTCO Gold Series Bait Nets.

Looking to keep the sun off your face?  The AFTCO Solido Sun Face Mask will do the trick with UPF40, it blocks 97.5% of the suns rays.  The fabric is soft and comfortable and has holes where your mouth is so it won't gather condensation or fog up your glasses.  

We like the larger flared out portion that goes around your neck.  It can be tucked into your shirt so the sun won't burn you as you move around and the mask changes positions.  We find they aren't too tight on the face and they are the most comfortable we've used.
